Welcome

The University of Auckland’s School of Architecture and Planning is acclaimed for its high quality research and teaching. It is the only University in New Zealand offering the disciplines of Architecture, Planning and Urban Planning in one School. Architects, Urban Planners and Urban Designers fashion the world we live in. Drawing on knowledge and imagination they craft our most intimate domestic spaces, neighbourhoods and cities. They enrich human sensibility, create the infrastructure fundamental to community vitality and, as our relationship with the natural environment becomes increasingly precarious, work towards ensuring that we can all look forward to a secure and inspiring future. Graduates from the School of Architecture and Planning make a difference and many are leading practitioners in New Zealand and abroad.

Welcome to the School of Architecture and Planning

Situated in New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city, the School engages with pressing local and global concerns. It includes many internationally recognised scholars whose research makes a significant contribution to contemporary practices and policy. We seek to build better cities, towns and homes in New Zealand and the world.

Research areas in the School include design and technologies, sustainable development, urban policy and implementation, digital and analogue media, history/theory, and professional practice and governance.

Our postgraduate programmes provide students with a strong intellectual foundation and the knowledge and skills needed for careers as practitioners, researchers and academics. Studio-based teaching and learning integrates knowledge and practice in all our taught masters programmes. We work closely with members of our professions and award-winning practitioners who play an important role in ensuring that teaching and learning is informed by current best practice. Our taught masters degrees in Architecture and Planning are professionally accredited.

Students have many opportunities to engage with each other, and with staff, to the benefit of the intellectual and social life of the School. We hope that you will find your studies stimulating and rewarding and look forward to getting to know you.

Best wishes for a successful year.

Page 9: Architecture, Urban Planning and Urban Design · 4 | 2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook Situated in New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city, the

2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook | 9

or by preventing contact. Report the situation to University Security or a member of staff as soon as possible.

• If you witness any potential unsafe practices report the situation to University Security as soon as possible.

Take responsibility for your own safety

• If planning to work after daylight hours, arrange to move your car to a park close to the exit doors where practical, or arrange to be collected by a friend or family member at an agreed time close to the exit doors.

• If making your own way home, phone ahead to a flatmate or family member to advise them of your departure and expected arrival time, or travel with a friend.

• Carry a personal alarm in your hand when walking to your vehicle at night.

Take some responsibility for other people’s safety and the security of the building

• Do not admit unauthorised people in to the buildings, even if they identify themselves as being a friend or relative of another student. No access card — no entry.

• Watch to ensure that no one follows you into a building.

• Advise University Security immediately if there are people present in the building who are not eligible to have access or who are behaving in an unsafe or irresponsible way.

• Ensure that all doors and windows are left secure when you exit a space or building.

Clubs and Societies

Staff-Student Consultative Committee (SSCC)

A Committee of staff and student representatives is formed at the beginning of each year. Two Student Representatives for each year of each programme, eg, BPlan, BAS, MArch(Prof) etc. Two SSCC members from each school are elected to a faculty SSCC.

School and faculty SSC Committees generally meet four times a year — twice a semester — to discuss relevant developments or initiatives being taken by the School and to discuss issues raised by student representatives. Additional meetings can be held if required. Contact your school SSCC coordinator, WAVE or AUSA for more information. The AUSA runs training sessions and workshops for class representatives throughout the year.

www.ausa.auckland.ac.nz

Architecture Clubs and Societies

Architects and Civil Engineers Association (ACE)

ACE is a student run organisation that brings Civil Engineering and Architecture students together and equips them with knowledge so they are better prepared to work together in the industry. Run by a team of dedicated volunteers, who are passionate about providing collaborative experiences and student development through opportunities available with ACE.

www.aceuoa.org.nz

Society of Space (SOS)

Society of Space (SOS) is the Architecture Student Association for The University of Auckland’s School of Architecture and Planning and is an organisation run by architecture students for architecture students. The Society consists

Page 10: Architecture, Urban Planning and Urban Design · 4 | 2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook Situated in New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city, the

| 2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook10

of a multitude of committees which organise social, cultural and sporting events, as well as School publications and student advocacy. It is a society committed to the promotion, cultivation and celebration of Architecture.

The student representatives of SOS are appointed each year, and all people interested in participating and contributing are encouraged to attend the first meetings held at the start of the first semester. Times and dates of meetings vary and are confirmed on the first day of the semester.

SOS supports and promotes architecture school student events and functions. Each year the SOS student committees organise regular barbecues, a school ball and visiting speakers. The society thrives on and is always open to student suggestions for potential social, academic and other expressive events.

Affiliated to the wider Auckland University Student Association (AUSA), SOS has student representatives on all major School, Faculty and University committees. SOS maintains its ties with the wider architectural profession by having a representative at the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Auckland Branch Committee as well as contact with the AAA / Auckland Architecture Association and SANNZ/ Student Architecture Network New Zealand. Within this strong network, SOS representatives are able to voice student concerns, queries and their innovative ideas. All students are encouraged to submit any issues or thoughts they may have to the student representatives of their respective years.

SOS notices are posted on the level 2 notice board at the School as well as within the studios on levels 2 and 4; otherwise all students should feel free to speak with any of the SOS representatives in person or via email. Names and contact details of individuals are located

on the notice boards. For more information on SOS, to submit a query or to volunteer your time at an SOS event and social function, please see your student representative.

Joining SOS:

Joining SOS provides numerous opportunities and benefits for students including:

• Opportunities for students to become more involved with the School of Architecture and Planning, NICAI and the University.

• A means through which students of all years can collaborate.

• Opportunities to make friends and contacts within the greater architecture community.

• Discounts at SOS organised events including Balls, BBQs, etc.

• Provides a cohesive vehicle through which students can help better their educational environment.

Membership is strongly encouraged and consists of a one-off fee of $10. This can be done by simply approaching a representative of the SOS team.

Student Architecture Network New Zealand (SANNZ)

SANNZ was formed in response to students wanting to improve connections between schools, students, architects and the international creative community.

Its goals are to promote:

• The interests of New Zealand architecture students.

• Students taking responsibility for and ownership of their architectural education.

• The abilities, work and vision of students of architecture.

Page 11: Architecture, Urban Planning and Urban Design · 4 | 2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook Situated in New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city, the

2015 Architecture, Urban Planning and Postgraudate Handbook | 11

• Student community and the integration of student and professional cultures.

SANNZ organises a number of events locally and nationally throughout the academic year such as Superstudio, sTutes, BBQs, lecture series and NZIA meet’n’greets. Superstudio is an annual competition designed to encourage debate, critique and investigation into an architectural issue, particularly between architecture schools in Australia and New Zealand, outside the confines of normal architecture school education. sTute is an educational event providing an enhanced version of the tutorial that students would otherwise receive during a regular design studio. Students are afforded access to a diverse range of talented and respected architect practitioners from whom they receive feedback on their work.

SAANZ is supported by the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) and the Schools of Architecture and has strong links with their Australian equivalent, SONA. Any student enrolled in a School of Architecture in New Zealand is eligible for membership of SANNZand also becomes a Student Member of the NZIA.
